wrote: Where are older taildragger pilots taught to do a 360 to scan the pattern prior to takeoff when instructed to position and hold? Why is this taught? No where that I know of. At a towered airport you need trust in the tower. At uncontrolled airports a 360 (actually 270) is used if you have a visual obstruction of some sort, or don't have a good look at what's going on in the pattern for any other reason. z
